Title: To circumcise or not to circumcise?
Post by: makenzie71 on December 18, 2008, 08:59:04 PM
I'm just curious.  A forum my wife frequents is all up in arms over it and it makes me curious.

Me...I don't care.  My kid will be circumcised because I, myself, am all about simplicity.  While proper hygiene fixes 95% of the issues associated with not circumcising, I'm lazy.  One less thing to pull back and wash suits me fine and I trust my sun will feel much the same.

What do you guys think?

i had mine done before mom ever brought me home...seems to be ok. although i think the docs cut more than they were supposed to, i find myself thinking i'm not just vertically challenged.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:  anyways. i'd rather have had it done as a youngster and not remember then to decide for myself to do it as an adult and remember that situation.   8)

i am no doctor but unless there is a medical reason i would not let my child get surgery as a infant have this done to him

I wouldn't allow that to be done to my child any more than I would allow someone to tattoo a barcode on the back of his neck.

The male sex organ has evolved over millions of years.  I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be "modded" to function properly.  ;) 

According to several medical publications, you also have more nerve endings "down there" than in your finger tips.  So, there's no such thing as "painless".

From all that I've read on this subject, circumcision gives more sensitivity (sometimes too much -until he gets older) .

On the flipside (if there is one), uncircumcised can lead to more disease if hygiene is not followed and cancer of the pee pee is 75 times higher than in circumcised males. Also the transfer of AIDS is exponentially higher in uncircumcised vs circumcised males from female to male partner.
Hope this helps.

Frank.........sigh.........
I KNOW you can give me lessons on SEAL training and I respect that. Truly I do. But this morning I am going to give YOU a lesson in English grammar.

"as a infant" is NOT correct!!! Sweet Jesus!!! Listen..........if an object begins with a vowel , use AN, if not use A!!!!!!
a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y (i.e. "It was an Yves St. Laurent model".)

It is NOT, "I threw a apple at him"..........it IS "I THREW AN APPLE AT HIM"............................

There are exceptions to this when describing the alphabet and also before an object that begins with a vowel that is being described by an adjective beginning with the letter H. Example.............. "It was a historic event".........this is NOT correct......
Correct example is " It was an historic event".

OK......now........let's pretend we are cheerleaders

Give me "an" A,E,I,O,F,H,L,M,R,S,X (notice the vowel "U" is left out--an exception to the rule)
All the rest go with "a". This holds true when dealing with acronyms as well (the acronym "starting letter").

Frankie.........14 hour days and your English is driving me to an early grave.

So..........

Give me an F
Give me a  U
Give me a C
Give me a K
Give me a Y
Give me an O
Give me a U

Geez, I need to go back to sleep. You're killin' me Frank, you're killin' me.

Don't do it, theres no point unless for a medical reason.

My cousin had it done for medical reasons, but i wouldn't do it just because your son might be too lazy. Your ment to teach him, they dont cut off your finger ends because you get dirt under your nails. No point. Teach him right and there won't be any problem.
Title: Re: To circumcise or not to circumcise?
Post by: makenzie71 on December 20, 2008, 10:21:07 AM
Kasumi, I'm just curious...do you have children?  I ask because anyone who has children knows that just because you teach them to do the right thing doesn't mean they'll do it.  A good example is brushing your teeth...I'm 27 years old and still don't brush my teeth like I should, and I don't think I've bought floss in ten years.

I'm just saying that it requires more than just teaching your kid the right thing to do.

QuoteA good example is brushing your teeth...I'm 27 years old and still don't brush my teeth like I should, and I don't think I've bought floss in ten years.

Neither do I.  But is that a valid reason to have your teeth removed at birth and replaced with dentures, because you might be lazy about cleaning them?  Have you ever had a tooth extracted or a root canal performed without anesthetic?  Circumcision is the only operation routinely performed throughout the world without anesthetic.

Again, it's really tough to argue with a few million years of evolution.  Showers, bathtubs, and soap are only a thousand or so years old...  Whatever problems the pro-circumcision doctors say that circumcision prevents sure didn't prevent human pee pee from functioning well enough for us to populate the entire planet.  I think that speaks for itself.

Title: Re: To circumcise or not to circumcise?
Post by: makenzie71 on December 20, 2008, 11:52:38 AM
GeeP...you misunderstand.  I could argue with you that it would, actually, warrant the removal of your teeth as they come in because infected, poorly maintained teeth can actually cause enough damage to kill a person, but that's not the point.

The point of my comment was, just as I said, word for word, ver batim, et cetera...It requires more than teaching your kid the right thing to do....that's to say for them to do the right thing.

I'd also like to point out to all the people who think it's wrong because it's unnatural...nature gave us a foreskin, but she also gave us polio.

I'm not arguing that issue.  I don't care what he does.

I'm debating the logic surrounding it.  Specifically, subjecting an infant to surgery without anesthetic.  Read the history of circumcision in America.  Medical journal articles from about 1850 to 1930 are very enlightening.  ;)

GeeP, while it is still seen that a doctor will do a circumcision sans anesthetic, it becoming for less common, and we will be making sure it is used with our child.  You just don't hear about the drugs companies developed for infant surgeries because they don't help middle aged men get hard-ons.

honestly have it done. its so much easier this way. i've never had a problem with mine. girls find it more attractvie when its been snipped anyways. its the way to go. feels great during sex, although i've never tried it the other way lol. even though i probably wasnt considering it when it happened, im sure if my opinion was asked i would have done it anyways.
Title: Re: To circumcise or not to circumcise?
Post by: Kasumi on December 28, 2008, 01:41:18 PM
Im just of the opinion that you shouldn't try and fix a problem which doesnt exist. If there was a medical reason right now that required it then fair enough like i would say for anything else. If your wanting to do it because of the ifs and buts and mights then i don't agree.

At the end of the day we all know that you will do what you want to do, regardless. Otherwise you wouldn't have started a discussion to see if your beliefs were reinforced by others.

And the argument about children not doing what you teach them is bollocks. A young child is utterly helpess, completely new to this world and the only behaviour they pick up is that of those around them, and what you teach them. Teach them right and they will do it right. But whatever do what you want, everyone else does.

Don't confuse my motives for posting a discussion.   I could care less whether any of you support me...I'm not one of those people who look to internet for reinforcement.  My post was of shear curiosity.

However, I do need to point out, again, that just because you teach your children to do the right thing does not mean they will do it.

and most boys will look at their d***s and think hey thats how i was born. and not give a damn , whether they were cut or not. i was, my friends, ( several of tehm, were not, yes im taking tehm at their words). if you support it for whatever reason, cool, if not, again cool. no one would htink you are a bad parent or would be. no matter which decision you made. cause this , is a trivial matter, in this childs life.its the tip of his duck for gods sake. mak im sure when the time comes, you and kalee will be stellar parents. and kas, i say that about you as well. and others here, the same  :cheers:

Wait...how old is your son? I just know that the foreskin has THOUSANDS of nerve endings that make the big O a really BIG O for uncircumcised individuals. On the other hand, hygiene can be a bit of a bear. Hmmm. Food for thought.
